The Flint Water Crisis from the Ground Up
with
. Sean Crawford, a Flint resident and auto worker whose
great grandfather was Vice Chair of the Flint sit-down strike
. Claire McClinton, Member of Flint Democracy Defense League

It's like living in "some sort of a dystopian novel," Sean Crawford writes, "to
find National Guard troops going door to door delivering drinking water on
his street. To skimp on water costs, the governor and dictatorial emergency
manager exposed the whole city to lead poisoning. My hometown of Flint
has been known for many things through its history. First as the birthplace of
General Motors, and subsequently as the battleground of the Flint Sit-Down
Strike that formed the United Auto Workers. That gave rise to a wave of
union organizing across the country, and to the middle class.

envy of the world. More recently, Flint became famous as ground zero for the
isastrous consequences of corporate globalizationâchronic unemployment
and underemployment,increasing wealth inequality, and the violence and
destabilization that can happen in a community when companies are allowed
to destroy peopleâs livelihoods. Whether it was out of fear of political or
financial reprisal, anyone who knowingly allowed the violation of Flint citizensâ
health and safety
